A Sunday Times Best Paperbacks of the Year Pick

''Religious fanaticism, political intrigue and the heart-wrenching tale of a lost child . . . with women firmly centre stage'' â" The Mail on Sunday

A gripping story of one familyâs fight to survive against the devastating tides of history, The City of Tears by Kate Mosse is an epic adventure, sweeping from Carcassonne to Paris and Amsterdam.

Paris, 1572. For ten violent years, the Wars of Religion have raged across France. Now, peace has been brokered and a royal engagement announced that could see the country reunited at last.

An invitation has arrived for Minou Joubert and her family to attend the wedding. Little does she know that her familyâs most dedicated enemy will also be there, that the Jouberts will soon be forced to flee for their lives to Amsterdam, and that someone she loves dearly will disappear without a trace . . .

The City of Tears is the second volume in Kate Mosseâs No. 1 international bestselling Joubert Family Chronicles. Continue the adventure with The Ghost Ship.
